670 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



(3) CotJionaspis {H.) intermedia, sp. nov. 



Female black, polished, the legs brown, the hind ones darker, the front and middle 

 pair more yellowish brown or testaceous. Antennae obscure brownish or pitchy, the 

 apical joints black, or nearly so, the pedicel being the palest joint. 



The joints of the flagellum are all elongate, the first being distinctly longer than 

 the second, the following joints subequal, the more apical slightly wider than the first 

 and second ; the third joint is nearly 2^ times as long as its greatest width, the ante- 

 penultimate joint only about twice as long as wide. Scutellar disc very convex above, 

 very long and narrow, subparallel-sided, the very fine margins generally, in some 

 aspects, appearing slightly sinuate inwardly behind the middle, the fovea very large, 

 with one or two very fine punctures on each side in front of the fovea ; below the disc 

 the scutellum is finely and regularly longitudinally striate and sparsely hairy ; propodeum 

 with the median area between the carinae punctate, the sides with yellow pubescence, 

 like that of the abdominal girdle, the latter also having an apical ciliation of longer hairs. 

 Meso- and metapleura smooth. Wings hyaline, somewhat yellow-tinged, especially 

 about the nervures, which are rather dark fuscous ; cubitus pallid, not distinct, marginal 

 cell closed above for about half its length from the base. Hypopygium rather strongly 

 exserted. Length 2 '5 mm. $. 



Male very like the female, but with much longer, filiform antennae, the fiagellar 

 joints subequally elongate, the third being about 2\ times as long as wide, the 

 antepenultimate about 4 times, owing to the attenuation of the antennae apically, the 

 first distinctly, but slightly, curved. 



Var. Scutellum at the sides, more or less of the sides of the abdomen at the base, 

 more or less of the basal joints of the antennae, or some of these parts, reddish, or 

 pitchy. 



Hab. Oahu ; widely distributed in the mountains above 1300 ft. 



(4) Cothonaspis {H.) tantali, sp. nov. 



Polished black, the mandibles and the pedicel of the antennae dark red, all the legs 

 ferruginous, the apical joint of the front and middle tarsi and most of the posterior tarsi 

 above, infuscate. 



Antennae long and filiform, 13-jointed, slightly longer than the whole insect, the 

 pedicel short, hardly longer than wide, the first flagellar joint slightly longer than the 

 second, the latter three times as long as its greatest width, the joints towards the apex 

 of the antennae a little wider in proportion to their length, the penultimate joint being 

 rather more than twice as long as its greatest width, the terminal joint long, one and 

 two-thirds the length of the preceding. Mesonotum polished, sparsely pilose ; scutellar 

 disc narrow, two and a half times (or more) as long as its greatest width, deeply and
